The purpose of this essay is to point out how Arthur Schopenhauer, who was a thinker that was influenced by Plato, used certain aspects of Plato’s philosophy under his own philosophical structure. Plato’s influence on Schopenhauer comes into prominence, especially on the axis of idea concepts and artistic philosophy. Moreover, Plato’s general approach on philosophy or his more philosophical understanding of the method echoes in Schopenhauer’s philosophy. These prominences and echoes are structural according to Schopenhauer’s ontology. Thus reviews of Platonic aspects in his structure proves important both in evaluating Schopenhauer’s own philosophy and in illuminating a philosophical setup in which Platonic reflection is integrated effectively. This essay will try to explain Platonic thoughts caught in Schopenhauer’s thought net and in particular the original thoughts and results that he has created within his own philosophy through the ideas he has taken in the sense of their Platonic meaning.
